lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, it is not primarily our job to give an opinion on whether the money was spent as we would wish or in agencies of which we would approve. It is, of course, to decide whether or not it was spent in accordance with the authority given to the agency in question. Some of these reports contain few, if any, criticisms, and the criticisms are minor. Assuming the rapporteurs were provided with accurate information and that they took account of that information, then Parliament should attest to that. A good example of this is Ms Macovei’s report on the European Centre for Disease Control. But her report on the budget for the European Environment Agency does provide some evidence for suspicions of overlaps of spending – I will speak cautiously in that way – with NGOs or pressure groups with which staff of the agency had rather too close a relationship. Her report on the budget for the Food Safety Authority was unexceptionable in itself, but I am concerned about amendments that would seek to water down the recommendations of the original report to prevent conflicts of interest."@en1
